coming up next. gerri: hello, i'm gerri willis live from the at atlantic city. tonight, new obamacare fees catching employers by surprise. what's in store for your company and why so many firms are fuming. also, it's a whale of a problem for j pmorgan, be did the bank ignore warning signs. getting to the bottom of the huge trading losses. and, yes, sin, definitely sells. tobacco, alcohol, gambling, look at it here in atlantic city for the business of vice special tonight. "the willis report" is on the case.

♪ gerri: we are live in atlantic city, new jersey, them a dozen casino, four, the biggest in the world, all day long on fox business, looking at the business of vice, and don't be mistaken, it is big business. take atlantic city. the12 casinos took in more than 212 million just in february alone. the entire economy of this city is based in gaming, 33,000 people work in the industry. here at the golden nugget atlantic city casino, they have a golden nugget. look at that. they have a hotel, cay casino, d marina in the heart of new jersey. hear from the general manager at

the bottom of the hour, and i sit down with a blackjack dealer and learn for the first time how to play blackjack. i never played it in the casino before, and you'll never guess how i did. it's not just gambling, but the biggest trends in alcohol these days, bourbon, plus, tobacco, porn, reality tv, and how your smart phone is a vice. we have a sinful hour ahead capping it off with how you at home as an investor can make money on it all. first tonight, our top story. obamacare's latest surprise is a new fee to hit employers. douglas holtz-eakin, president of the and former cbo director. great to talk to you. i was shocked to hear about the fee, $63, nobody knew it was coming, $63 per eployee, so for a company like boeing, that's $10 million just for the fee

alone. what is it for, and why didn't we hear about this before? >> well, i mean, certainly the latter part is easier. again, we're finding out that you have to read the bill to know what's in it, no one read it before it was passed, and there's quite literally a trillion dollars worth of taxes in the affordable care act. it's underappreciated, there's a tax increase on the economy to turn into big job growth impacts and turn into big cost of insurance impacts, and that's what the fee is for, it's there to get the startup of the new exchanges going and to ensure the high cost paicialghts are covered into the insurance products. gerri: what's interesting because there's a lot of people asking for exclusions already, and am i surprised that thedownon representing auto workers doesn't want to pay this. boeing, as i mentioned before, they are asking for exclusions. suspect this is case where virtually anybody with more than

say a thousand employees is going to be knocking on the white house doors asking for personal consideration? >> we, of course, you would. this is a cost of doing business, going to be substantial, and unanticipated cost. we saw this with all the regulations that have been put in place to make obamacare go. one by one, they show up and ask for exclusions because they are costly, have to change the way they do business, change the insurance, and the fee is no different. we saw a medical device fee start this year, a health insurance fee start next year. it's a movie you'll see again and again as years past. gerri: well, this money, supposed by, helps people who can't be denied coverage because of preexisting conditions. this is what it's for, and the companies levied are saying these are not people we necessarily are covering. you're verying bear the csts for the whole system. does their argument have weight?

>> it does. remember that a lot of the kind of fees put into the affordable care act were advertised as fees for a benefit. the premium tax was in exchange for the business supposedly they would get. the device tax, people buy more devices, but dig into that, you find out that many of the small device manufacturers are not going to see the business change at all because of the affordable care act. same true for insrers, and, in this case, it is very unlikely that you will find the high cost patients who were excluded from the insurance pool in an ployer sponsored product, and the fee's not going to match that at all. >> all right. i have to get you to an economic question. among your many talents, you're an economist. today, we got a big disappointment with the consumer confidence number that surprised people, not expecting it. we expected a better result. it drove the stock market down. what's going on here? >> i'm concerned about that. if you remember back in the

fourth quarter of 2012, consumer confidence was high, business confidence low. that diversion can't persist, and the hope was it would come up, match, and have a sustained rally. it is troubling. consumer confidence fell with the cliff, an know there's another round of tax increases and threats of more tax increases in the democratic budget, confidence falls again, and i think this is a sign that consumers are realistic about this recovery which is pretty tepid and the risk of bad policy out of washington. >> as usual, great analysis, great to have you on the show tonight. thank you so much. >> thank you. gerri: also, today, the dow gongs femme today as i mentioned, breaking the longest winning streak since 1996. the s&p 500 also down after closing yesterday just two points shy of the all-time high.

meanwhile, a new 3 # 00-page senate report finds the nation's biggest bank, jarks pmorgan chase ignored risk and misled investors last year. the executives were grilled on capitol hill today. the chairman and ceo, jamie dimon, nowhere in sight. rich edson has the latest. rich, what happened? >> well, the chairman left the cooer -- door open to an aexperience by dimon. we'll get back to that. it was a six hour drilling on where employees and senators piled on charges that the ceo, jamie dimon withheld a certain number of statements, federal regulators to urge the bank to do so, that in the london office they manipulated statemented and dodged regulators. >> i'm asking you whether or not it's accurate that the occ got

the information on those positions on a regular and recurring basis as part of your normalized reporting. i'm asking you that. is that accurate? >> we got information -- >> not information. i'm going to read this to you and until you give me the answer. did they get the information on those positions on a regular and recurring basis. you know what "those positions," are, the position of the wale trade, as participant of a normalized reporting, did they? >> they did not get the detailed positions regularly. >> okay. >> they got summary information. >> i'll settle for that. >> the occ, the primary regulator here, the office the comptroller of the currency admitted they dnt follow-up on red flag lings and should have and put the blame on the folks at j pmorgan chase on that. the chief investment officer at the bank, no longer is, but she oversaw the reporting in the london office and put the blame on the london office as the

senate report says in a number of financial reports, and one day, the reports showed this port portfolio lost only $12 million, when, in fact, it lost $600 million. back to jamie dimon here. before the hearing started, the chairman said if you felt the results of the hearing, made it so he would come back, you could ask him, and we asked the office whether or not they plan to invite him, and we have not heard back. enjoy blackjack and split aces and 8's. back to you. gerri: thank you so much. finger pointing in washington. now to have fun. throughout the rest of the hour, the big business of vice, covering everything from alcohol to tobacco to porn and reality tv with the former "jersey shore" star, and being that we're live in atlantic city, we start with game ling and the worldwide gambling industry, and plus, how you make money from it without stepping foot in the cay casino. that's next as "the willis

there's so many sub segments, each one of them has to be marketed to differently. gerri: what about online game ling? could that be an incentive? >> if implemented well, and that's a big if because it's so brand new, and there's so many different ideas as to how it works because it has not really been tried in north america, but if it is implemented well, and by being implemented well, i mean that online game ling should be primarily a means of identifies customers, adults, and then consenting them to come to atlantic city. if that's the case, if it's implemented in that fashion, it's a huge plus. gerri: i tell you, you know, ultimately, the location is beautiful; right? right here on the water. it's amazing. it would be great to see a huge comeback for atlantic city, and it seems like it has a lot of people in place.
